2 tablespoons butter

How to Cook Steak with Ponzu (Citrus-Based Sauce)

Combine miso and butter in a bowl. Set aside.

Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat.

Pat steaks dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for about 3 minutes on one side then turn and cook for 2 more minutes for medium-rare doneness. (Insert a meat thermometer in the thickest part of the steak; the temperature should read 130°F for medium-rare and 140°F for medium.)

As the steaks are about to finish cooking, add 1 tablespoon ponzu and 1 tablespoon miso butter to the pan; let sauce coat steaks. Remove steaks from pan and let rest for at least 5 minutes.

Meanwhile, lower heat to medium. Add 1 tablespoon miso butter to the same pan. Add corn and cook until heated through. Season with salt and pepper.
